I wonder if they'll start sharing data on banned passengers. I think this is a much more interesting and nuanced social issue.

A recent viral video this week showed a woman assaulting an Uber driver, she livestreamed on IG to try to justify her actions and in the process said that she would only be using Lyft, then lyft tweeted that they pre-emptively banned her.

If FAANG joined together to make a shared blocked users list, they could effectively make a digital caste system subject to little current government oversight.

You mean like credit scores?

Reminds me of that one Black Mirror episode

Honestly I think FAANG know better than to try to do something like that. They are already getting closer to regulatory action to limit their influence and some politicians want to see them be broken up.

And that's just in the US, if they pull something like that in the EU it's almost certain there would be new laws put in place to inflict heavy fines.

Cancel culture ensures we basically have that already... How many times has an undesirable been unpersoned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube within hours?

[chii]

and what if they weren't really undesirable, but framed? What if they actually had a case, but the context shows a biased view?

That's why we don't rely on the court of public opinion for deciding guiltiness of an accused.

What needs to be canceled is cancel cultuer itself.

Yeah I'm agreeing. Undesirable wasn't meant to be literal.
